Huge investment but it pays off: a museum with some rare display brings people in from all over the world and enriches the country it is in, employs specialized staff, teaches students and inspires future works of art. I can't see myself criticizing the initiative except to say it should have been done earlier. If it's islamic, muslim or arabic makes no difference to me.
